It’s Valentine’s Day!! We had big big plans today get up early get off site and try and dust off 3 of Portugals top natural wonders including some caves etc. We were up early, i went down to reception to get some change for a quick laundry cycle. I got down there and the cash […]

On what we had promised to ourselves would be our last day in Albufeira we got ourselves showered and tidy and then started the mile or so walk into the town. I was adamant I was going to fish so we took my rod and tackle down. I fished for 4 minutes and lost my

I had an admin day today so from about 8am I started trying to catch up on the editing that I needed to do. Annoyingly I had similar problems with this new software as I did with Splice which sort of defeats the object of stopping using Splice anyway. After some faffing about I managed
